ATHLETICS – Season 1!

Hello,

OSAA has created a Season 1 period of time for practices/conditioning workouts. Football (Fall) has been given the time period from October 12 – November 6.  During this time, we will have the opportunity to practice, strength train, and condition.  We get 6 hours for practices and 1 hour for virtual meetings per week.  We will have more info on times and days as we get closer to this time. No competitions allowed during Season 1.

Season 1 starts on August 31.  This means this will be our last week of workouts/practices until October 12. Things that need to be done ASAP.

1.  Fill out the FamilyID (www.familyid.com) for each sport your son will be participating in.  No payments at this time.  Please wait for payment until before actual season.  FamilyID opened today.  Please, please, please get this done.  You can not participate in Season 1 at all until this is done.  This also needs to be done before any weight training sessions during Season 1.
2. Current physicals.  Make sure you have a current physical on file.  If yours is out of date, you need to get one ASAP.  Physicals are good for two years.  If you are not sure about your physical, please call the High School and ask for Julie Bothel.  She can tell you when yours is up.

During Season 1, any athlete that wants to do Agility/Weights/Conditioning when we are not in session (Session 1 and Session 3) can do so with Britnie (Athletic Trainer).  She will be providing time for weight room activities.  I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE any athlete not in session to join Britnie during this time.  The more we can get done in the weight room, will help us be successful on the field.  Also will help with injury prevention. Please use this time.  We need all the work we can get. If you are interested in weight training during those times, I will be creating a google form to fill out.  I will get that done this week.  I need to give her numbers and names to start setting up PODS.  I have attached the schedule below for the school year.  This provides you with dates and activities going on.
